First characterization of the marine ecosystem of Archer Fiord in the Lasting Ice Area of the high Arctic: a productivity paradox Open
The Lasting Ice Area along the northern coastline of Ellesmere Island and Greenland will be the region where Arctic multiyear sea ice will persist the longest in a warming climate, making this area critical for ice-dependent species. In 20…

Sea-ice arches structure Arctic primary production hotspots at the Last Ice Area gateway Open
Nares Strait, located at the southern edge of the Last Ice Area, is a significant ecological zone where seasonal sea-ice arches influence regional ice dynamics, air–sea exchange and ecosystem productivity. By modulating ice export, stratif…

Analysis of Fc-dependent effector functions of anti-malaria circumsporozoite protein antibodies Open
Antibodies targeting the malaria circumsporozoite protein (CSP) can prophylactically protect against malaria by targeting Plasmodium parasites before they establish symptomatic blood-stage disease. Engineering the antibody Fc region to mor…

Seafloor primary production in a changing Arctic Ocean Open
Phytoplankton and sea ice algae are traditionally considered to be the main primary producers in the Arctic Ocean. In this Perspective, we explore the importance of benthic primary producers (BPPs) encompassing microalgae, macroalgae, and …

Assessing net primary production in the northwestern Barents Sea using in situ, remote sensing and modelling approaches Open
The northwestern Barents Sea (NW-BS) is a highly productive region within the transitional zones of an Atlantic to Arctic-dominated marine ecosystem. The steep latitudinal gradients in sea ice concentration, Atlantic and Arctic Water, offe…

Optical closure in highly absorptive coastal waters: significance of inelastic scattering processes Open
In hydrological optics, “optical closure” means consistency between the apparent optical properties (AOPs) determined from radiometric measurements and those derived from radiative transfer modelling based on concurrently measured inherent…

The Chromatin Regulator Mll1 Supports T Follicular Helper Cell Differentiation by Controlling Expression of Bcl6, LEF-1, and TCF-1 Open
T follicular helper (TFH) cells are essential for developing protective Ab responses following vaccination. Greater understanding of the genetic program leading to TFH differentiation is needed. Chromatin modifications are central in the c…
